Vividcon: Friday
Okay, so I've already made a post about Thursday, which means it's time to move onto Friday. (While I hide in my hotel room and wait for the pizza I ordered to be delivered.) Let's see... when I left off, it was the crack of dawn Friday morning, because my body decided that I totally needed to wake up before 6am.
Anyway, I hung out with some VVC people down on the first floor for awhile and had breakfast. (And second breakfast. And third breakfast. And...) Then I came back up to the room once I thought the roommates would be conscious so that I could actually take a shower and put on real clothes.
Let's see... around 9:45am they opened up the consuite and let everyone start piling into the vidshow room for the opening ceremonies. We had the usual welcome, and then - since this was the ten year anniversary of Club Vivid - the history show this year focused on that. They took a vid from each year's CVV, as well as opening it with the Joxer Dance and ending it with Stop the Rock (anyone who's ever been to Club Vivid before will understand), and it was very interesting to watch. Mainly because everyone was sober for what might be the first time while watching said vids.
After that, I went to the Vividcon Quiz Show where I ended up being part of District 10 with
jetpack_monkey and
par_avion. It was a lot of fun, and we ended up coming in... fifth place, I think? Which is a lot better than we were expecting.
Lunch came up next, and I hung out in the consuite and ate some of the yummy macaroni-and-cheese that deejay picked me up from Table Fifty-Two on Thursday. I skipped both the vidshow and panel at 1pm; instead I just hung out in the consuite and talked to people for awhile.
Next, I went to the WIP It Good panel followed by the Do You Vid Your Myers-Briggs? one. They were both very interesting, but I didn't actually take any notes. I do better at panels when I just listen rather than actually trying to write/type things.
I had planned on going to the Also Premiering vidshow, but I was exhausted by that point so instead I went back to my room and curled up for a little over an hour. I didn't actually sleep, but just curling up in bed helped a lot.
And then it was time for Club Vivid. \o/
As some of you have probably guessed from my posts and tweets over the past few weeks, I ended up going in costume this year. Specifically, I went as Wasp from the Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes cartoon. (Pictures coming later.) The dress didn't quite fit properly, so I had to spend some time being creative with safety pins beforehand, trying to make certain that it... you know, stayed on.
Once I was in costume, I went over to amireal's room where she did my makeup. I don't wear it very often, but I've got to admit that she did an awesome job.
There were some photo ops at the beginning of Club Vivid, since there were a ton of us in Avengers-related costumes. Then I basically just enjoyed the vids (and the dancing, and the booze, and the food, and the Loki and Thor making out, and the people, and the glowsticks, and... well, everything) for the next few hours. Club Vivid was Club Vivid; there's not really that much to say other than ♥♥♥.
Afterward, I went back to my room to scrub off the remainder of the makeup and as much glitter as possible. Then I curled up with my laptop and ate the rest of the macaroni-and-cheese while I fiddled around on the internet for a bit. I ended up going to bed around 1am(ish) or so.
For those who were wondering? Sadly, I was completely sober. It might be because, after twelve drinks, I said "screw it" and stopped even trying. :-P
And that was Friday. My pizza should be here any minute, so I'll make another post about Saturday later.
